Is the Migration tool installed as well?
I can’t see where the installation of Apache can break Webmin connection, unless you had did something else to Apache default configuration files that would involve in over riding any connections to your server port connections.
I’m using Edge browser and it says “Hmmm…can’t reach this page. IP address took too long to respond”.
Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) is what is installed on Ubuntu. After enabling this firewall again and added the rules I restarted webmin.
I didn’t make any changes to the apache configurations files. Expedition works on port 443 out of the box.
I created a new user for webmin and installed under that account thinking that would fix the issue but it did not.
No, I cannot.
Yes, the Migration tool is installed. I even changed the order of the installations with no luck. Webmin has its own webserver so I don’t know why I cannot bring up the login page. Even with stopping apache2 I still cannot bring up Webmin login page. Very frustrating to say the least.
If this is installed now? Why are you not looking into see if this is the issue?
Is the Expedition a service? Can you stop this service?
My current wild guess is Expedition might be messing with the perl Webmin needs?
It may need stopping and disabling an a reboot depending on what it does to the firewall
I still have ufw installed on my system and can enable/disable it but I do see that firewalld is installed and is running. ugh
Is this a Virtualmin and Webmin installation? or Webmin only?
I would guess virtualmin and if you look at post #1 the OP could access webmin/virtualmin before the instalation of the expedition tool, this make me think the tool has messed with something either firewall or something else, I can not find out what the tool does perhaps @dgibson could tell us what it does ?
I told you how to connect without a desktop.
Sorry I think I missed it as I’m reading and responding to several comments at once.
This is webmin only
That’s not true. Firewalld does not replace iptables. nftables does, but there’s a compatibility layer. Firewalld is a configuration layer over either iptables or nftables, and either can work without Firewalld. You never have to rely on firewalld, if you don’t want to. (Firewalld is the default way to manage a firewall in Virtualmin, but it’s also optional there.)
I want to thank you all for taking time to comment and help me. It’s greatly appreciated. I did not know that firewalld gets installed with webmin and that’s the firewall that was running and blocking access to port 10000. I install webmin on all our ubuntu servers and never needed to turn off or add rules to firewalld so I’m not sure why I needed to now but my issue is resolved. Thank you thank you!!!
Thanks,
Denise
The Webmin web server does not have an .htaccess file. Apache isn’t involved in serving Webmin, in the usual case; I’d hope OP would remember setting it up to run behind Apache, if they jumped through the hoops to proxy to it and forced it to listen exclusively on a local port.
That’s new to me as well… Unless this is something new they are doing with only Webmin installs?
So this is wrong then https://docs.rockylinux.org/books/lxd_server/04-firewall/#:~:text=Starting%20with%20Rocky%20Linux%209.0,system%2C%20they%20will%20disappear%20altogether. If so i will retract the statement
This is how I got the latest version of webmin. I have an older version installed on my other ubuntu servers.
